The Family of God. . .
What comes to mind when you think of “family?” Hopefully, thoughts of love and affection come to mind. Our Savior -- in His incarnation -- chose a simple and humble family in which to grow in “wisdom, statue, and favor with God and man.” (Luke 2:52) But when Christ commenced His ministry, He was indeed building another family: The Family of God. On one occasion during His ministry, Christ’s earthly family came looking for him to speak with Him. Jesus asked the people nearby, “Who is my mother?” and “Who are my brethren?” Jesus then pointed to His disciples and said, “Behold, my mother and my brethren.” What a precedent the Lord laid down for the “Family of God!” Are you apart of that family? (John 1:12 – 13) Hopefully, you are experiencing it here at Crane Community Chapel and finding brothers and sisters in the Lord who share the precious faith, hope, and love that we have in Christ.
In His Family,
The Goossens
